You don’t need more willpower. You need a method.
If you have OCD, you’ve probably already tried hard — harder than most people will ever know. More thinking, more checking, more searching for the answer that finally makes it stop. And it’s never enough, because effort aimed at the wrong target just spins the wheel faster.
The OCD Elements teaches a different target: not stopping the thoughts — nobody can promise that — but changing what happens after they show up. This standalone foundations course uses its own short videos and practical activities. It is separate from the complete 12-week Break Free programme and its newer teaching library.
What’s inside
1Foundations & Mindset
The Three Steps, hope and neuroplasticity, limiting beliefs, and making friends with uncertainty (including the “maybe” technique).
2Acceptance & Self-Compassion
Why fighting feelings backfires, tolerance before acceptance, the attention spotlight, and self-compassion that isn’t soft.
3Taking Back Control
Defusion tools — postponement, thanking the brain, the bus metaphor — plus values and goals, so your attention has somewhere better to go.
4Facing Fear
Exposure done right: gradual, purposeful, never flooding. Imaginary and real-life exposure, the fear hierarchy, and training with the cold.
5The Long Game
Setbacks as part of the path, confidence through action, gratitude, momentum — and a plan for keeping your recovery.
OCD Elements or Break Free Self-Guided?
OCD Elements is a standalone foundations course with its own videos, which you work through independently.
Break Free Self-Guided — €600 is the full 12-week programme, using the newer teaching videos also included in Guided and Fully Coached. It includes a structured curriculum, practical activities, optional weekly group sessions and 12 weeks of programme community access. It has no individual coaching sessions.
You can join either directly. OCD Elements is not a prerequisite for Break Free.

The Elements is right if…

Questions
How long do I have access?
Indefinitely. Work through it in two weeks or six months — your pace is the right pace.
Is this therapy?
No. This is an educational course based on ACT and exposure principles and my own lived experience. It’s not a substitute for professional mental health treatment — if you’re in significant distress, please also consult a licensed professional.
What if I get stuck?
OCD Elements is designed for independent learning and does not include live classes or individual coaching. For a complete 12-week programme with optional group support, explore Break Free Self-Guided (€600). For individual coaching, explore Guided (€1,200) or Fully Coached (€1,800).
Which OCD types does it cover?
The method works across themes — checking, contamination, intrusive thoughts, rumination. (For sensorimotor OCD specifically, I have a dedicated program.)
